  CONCLUSIONS
  Researches recent demonstrate a sense of critical usage of rituals at stillbirth, which give support to creating realistic attitudes to loss and initiation of the mourning process by parents, parallel with the minimisation of subsequent psychical complications by parents in long-term outcomes. In perinatological centres in the Czech republic parents can see or hold their death baby. Momentoes of the child, recommended by professional researches, are rarely collected and used there.
